00:00Some local governments started to sell the Abutkayang Bigas of the National Food Authority.

00:06Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture confirmed that the supply of NFA rice is sufficient for those who can afford to buy it.

00:14This is Isaiah Mirafuentes' story.

00:19Early in the morning, Tate Enselmo immediately lined up at the driveway of San Juan City Hall.

00:24This is for him to be able to buy rice of a lower price but of good quality from the National Food Authority.

00:42Before this happened, he was buying rice for 60 pesos per kilo in the market.

00:47That's when he found out that there's 33 pesos worth of rice in their city hall, he immediately agreed.

00:54In San Juan City, the sale of Abutkayang NFA rice started today.

00:59This is after the city showed interest in selling Abutkayang Bigas from the National Food Authority.

01:06For 1,650 pesos per sack or 50 kilos, local governments can buy rice from the NFA.

01:14That's equivalent to 33 pesos per kilo.

01:18It can be sold by the LGU for up to 35 pesos per kilo.

01:22Today is the first day of its sale in San Juan City Hall.

01:25The rice was placed in the hallway of their municipality.

01:28And it was sold per sack.

01:31For now, we sell per sack but we can adjust accordingly if there's a demand.

01:39Our initial 1,000 sacks are fully allocated because we pre-registered.

01:45Zamora also bought rice from the Metro Manila Council, which is run by the city mayors of NCR,

01:50hoping that the LGUs will not increase the minimum price of NFA rice.

01:55This program is also supported by the Department of Agriculture despite the high price of rice in the market.

02:02This is also the result of the declaration of the National Food Emergency on rice.

02:07The DA also promised that the rice supply will be sufficient from the National Food Authority.

02:13We have a lot of stocks in Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Campanga, and Isabela.

02:21It's ready to ship here anytime.

02:24Our limitation is 150,000 sacks.

02:27That's the warehouse here in Venezuela.

02:30As it is depleted, it is going to be replenished.

02:33The DA believes that this program will be the reason to lower the price of rice in the markets.

02:40Meanwhile, because of the losses of rice in a Kadiwa store in Quezon City,

02:45the government is more committed to maintain the rice supply.

02:49Aside from Metro Manila, it is also expected that cheaper rice will be sold in the provinces.

02:55Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, and Isabela are already on the line.
